Gasgoo Munich- On October 13, MAEXTRO has issued the "MAEXTRO V800 Brake Pedal Testing Statement" to address recent public scrutiny over brake pedal issues. The release details the findings of strength and rigorous load tests carried out by a third-party inspection agency.
According to the statement, a state-accredited third-party lab tested the MAEXTRO V800 brake pedal on October 11. The pedal meets the requirements of the QC/T 788-2018 standard for automotive pedal performance and bench testing. Crucially, no cracks or damage were detected even after a rigorous longitudinal load test applying up to 3,000N of force.
Under the QC/T 788-2018 standard, a brake pedal must withstand a 1,500N longitudinal force. Once the load is removed, permanent deformation cannot exceed 5mm, and the pedal must show no cracks or damage.
In this round of testing, four brake pedal samples were subjected to the 1,500N longitudinal force. Their permanent deformations measured 2.04mm, 4.07mm, 2.05mm, and 2.28mm — all well within the standard's limits.
Beyond the baseline, the lab also ran rigorous tests on 14 brake pedal assembly samples, applying longitudinal forces ranging from 2,000N to 3,000N. Two of those samples endured the maximum 3,000N load. Visual inspections after testing found no cracks or damage in any of the units.
The disclosed results focus primarily on the brake pedal's static strength and performance under extreme loads. By publishing these findings, MAEXTRO has moved to address the recent controversy and quiet public concerns.
